This simple homemade buttermilk biscuits recipe is delicious thanks to using 3 ingredients, one of which is pancake mix! They’re soft, buttery and versatile too!
These homemade buttermilk biscuits are a breakfast staple in our home. Buttermilk biscuits are a welcomed sight on my breakfast table.
Some of our favorites are biscuits and gravy, biscuits and homemade jam or bacon, egg and cheese biscuits. I also make this homemade buttermilk biscuit recipe when I make chicken pot pies.
Did you know Buttermilk Biscuits are also super simple to make? What if I told you it took just two ingredients? Yup it’s true! And one of those ingredients? Your favorite pancake mix!
Pancake mix is SO versatile! You have to check out some of my favorite recipes using pancake mix (that aren’t pancakes).
How to make homemade buttermilk biscuits:
You will need:
Buttermilk Pancake Mix
milk
butter
a sheet pan
Get started making your biscuits!
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix pancake mix and milk until a soft dough forms.
On a work surface, sprinkle more pancake mix.
Knead the dough lightly about 10-12 times.
Roll out the dough to a 1/2 inch thickness.
Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits.
Place biscuits on prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
Can I freeze these homemade buttermilk biscuits?
Yes! Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits freeze so wonderfully too! If you decide to go that route, hold off on the buttering the tops. Let them cool and place the biscuits in a freezer bag. I like to make a big batch of these and freeze them to have ready to go on the weekends.
Also, you can use different sized biscuit cutters to make your Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits bigger or smaller depending on your preferences.
I’ve been told that my homemade buttermilk biscuits taste a lot like Cracker Barrels! What a compliment!!
Because putting dinner on the table every night can be stressful, I love to serve up breakfast for dinner once a week!
Be sure to serve these homemade buttermilk biscuits with my blackberry jam! Or if you are a vegetarian, try this vegetarian “sausage and gravy” recipe.

Brianna says
Posting this since NO ONE has posted an actual review of this recipe
Had to double the batch just to get 13 so the servings size is off
Did not come out this pretty, which is normal with homemade biscuits. They taste…odd. Like they are not that great, to me, maybe others will like them. Smothered in gravy though, everything is delicious
momma lew says
Hi Brianna,
Thank you for you comments. This is the first time I have heard this type of review. On my Pin on Pinterest, quite a few readers have been very happy with the outcome. Better luck next time?
Kate says
This is so tasty! You do such a great job on your website–great directions and presentations. Thank you for sharing your excellent recipes!
Mariya says
This is really a great recipe. I will make this at the next chance i get.
Kim says
Made these this morning for breakfast for Biscuits and Gravy. So moist and incredibly simple. I just made drop biscuits because they were just getting torn up under the gravy anyway, I also did not knead them just thoroughly mixed in the bowl..Thank you!
momma lew says
I am so glad to hear this!
Hj says
Made these today because I was out of flour and wanted to make biscuits. They turned out great! Interesting though that it’s advertised as “2 ingredient” biscuits…pancake mix, milk and butter actually add up to 3 ingredients. Haha 😀
momma lew says
omg you are right! lol
Isabella says
How many biscuits does this make? Would it be enough for four people? Thanks!
momma lew says
I usually get about 10-12 out of the mix. So I would say yes!
Deen says
Every time I make these my biscuits don’t rise and aren’t fluffy. What am I doing wrong?
momma lew says
I am wondering if your mix is old? That’s the only thing I can think of.
Jess says
These were so good! They kind of remind me of the Pillsbury grand biscuits flavor wise. Will definitely make again!
